#

your rupture uptime is rly... bad

#

same with slice and dice

#

your shadow dance uptime is also terrible

#

just straight up one thing. You play night fae.
Night fae is okay-ish in output but if it comes to competitiveness kyrian and venthyr are better choices

#

your opener is... something else

#

strike-slice-sepsis-cooldowns

#

you play PV, you need to backstab between dances

#

you did not use your sepsis stealth ability between dance, also because you didn't play the opener correct

#

you want to align dance to symbols, you here did use it early and symbols during dance, this means you don't get all 8 globals in dance and end up backstabbing a lot

#

you should have enough cp to rupture before dance here

#

that dance is terrible, you rly need to stay on the boss during dance

#

your first vanish is rly late into the fight, you could just use it earlier

#

i am honest with you

#

seeing stuff like this means you rly need to work on the basics of gameplay

#

there is a lack of baseline understanding on the spec, what is fair if you are new to it

#

i will fast go over what to do and what you shouldn't

#

you already do one thing correct, and thats using symbols fairly agressive (somewhat on cooldown)

#

what you need to work on is aligning shadow dance to it

#

this should be the #1 thing you plan around

#

to always have 1 charge of dance ready for your symbols

#

given the play around symbols, you also want to refresh rupture before it comes up if the duration is low

#

so if you see symbols only has 2 or 3 sec left of its cooldown

#

and you are on high cp

#

rupture if rupture isn't more than 13 secs

#

slice and dice fuels your combo point generation

#

so it needs to be up 100% of the time (unless you have boss downtime for longer, then its fine to drop during that)

#

for sepsis, esp. with PV its fairly easy to use

#

it aligns naturally with your symbols if used on cd

#

so you can always do sepsis-dance-(finisher/backstab)-strike-...

#

because you have more charges than the 1 of dance you line up with symbols

#

you can use dance outside of that

#

an easy way to know when you can use dance is either when you are close to getting 2 charges

#

or if the fight is about to end to just burn through them

#

about PV

#

i rly need to emphasize this, if you use 2 dance charges back to back, you need to consume your PV stacks

#

if you don't you wasting a lot of the damage of PV

#

towards your log, melee gameplay is rly hard

#

and esp. subtlety is punishing

#

so what you can focus on that will directly lead to better output is to stay on the boss

#

try to only move away if rly needed for a mechanic

#

esp. on fights like rygelon that are mostly single target

#

if you need to move away use sprint/shadowstep to get back asap

#

also if you are a bit more comfortable with the rotation try to look at the boss mechanic weakaura or bossmod timer

#

to see if it might be better to not use shadow dance now

#

as this is what happened a lot in your log
